    Default Dissenters To Be Detained As “Enemy Belligerents”

    This comes from infowars.com. But read the PDF file of the bill written by who else but Sen. John McCain and Lieberman.

    What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

    I have a hard time getting all worked up over something on Infowars ... a LOT of hyperbole and BS there.


    After reading the text of the bill, it doesn't look to me like "dissenters" will be detained as "Enemy Belligerents" ... you have to be a member of Al Queda or otherwise engaged in actual terrorism (either directly or by providing material support for) in order to cross that line into "Enemy Belligerent" territory.

    This bill looks like its simply designed to make sure anyone arrested for terrorism ends up in military custody and not in a civilian police custody.

    But it was penned by McCain and Leiberman ... so that alone makes it suspect in my book.

    And it will surely stop there!

    While I would agree there is a possibility this might be abused (but that's pretty much true of any law), overall I don't see a big problem with it. As a matter of fact I think it's a pretty fair effort by McCain to deal with the issue of civilian vs military trials for terrorists. It pretty much defines who is and who isn't going to be targeted.

    To be fair, I only read the bill. I didn't read the InfoWars.com article.

    OUCH! I hate when I have to say something positive about John McCain.
